roOHKI e. la Third Army.
On the line from the Vistula to the
Carpathian stood the famou Third
Ituaslan army, commanded by the Bul
garian. Radko Demetrlef. who had
won fame In tha Balkan campaign as
a military commander. In hi front
Una and Immediate reserve he had five
army corps, or about :0,0O0 men. for
the corps were, at that time well filled
from earlier losses.
The lines runnlnc west of Tarnov
and before Gorllce had been approxi
mately stationary for several months,
during which time the enemy arttll-ry
had been practicing at least twice a
day. with ihe result thsl n this en
tire front th fcetterle, had the range
within a few feet of practically every
conspicuous object In the landscape,
while every turn and twist of 'the
Russian trencbe had been verified
and mapped by the enemy aeroplanes
and rangea ascertained almost to the
ln-h.
Arasy Maed ear Tamer.
Toward the end of April the Russjan
fllera became aware of the concentra
tion of troops and material In the the
ater of operatlona west of Tarnov.
Many persona have asked me why-the
Russian did not meet It on the same
scale. The answer Is simple.
Though the Russians have millions
of men In service and under training,
they did not have the riflee to put in
their hands nor the guns and shells
which should give them support.
In addition the Russian railroad
system were strategically Inferior to
those of the Germans and Austrian.,
and they could not rush masses of
troops from one quarter of the empire
to another as the German have been
able, to do. Besides this, the Russian
front extending from the Baltic to
Bukowlna had already absorbed the
greater part of the Russian effecti-es
and thay could not easily Increase their
strength on the Dunnjec without rob
bing the even more important Warsaw
or Courland front, on both of which
the German were active.
Rig t.uaa Ilhed Front.
The action on the Dunajec line was
the first of the great German artillery
drive. 1 cannot verify the statements
as to the numbers -of the enemy, but
I give the figures as estimated by the
Russians.
In uddilion to a number of Austrian
corps already on the. Galician line the
German sent at least six new corps
for the first blow, while' some place
the number as high as 10. The sector
chosen fo attack whs that lying from
Tarnov toward Gorllce.
The Russian observers quickly de
tected during the last days of April
the Immense concentration of guns,
which they estimated to be iOOO In
number on a front of 40 miles.
These guns were said to be grouped
In tiers, one battery behind another,
the heaviest in the rear. The sizes
ranaed all the way from the regular
field artillery to the heavy Austrian
alca-e guna. It was ald by the Rus
sian that in this host of guns there
were 200 ela-ht inches or more In diam
eter. Probably the largest were the
Austrian IJ-lnch Skoda howitzers.
TNere was nothing the Russians
could do to guard against the Impend
ing attack but to wait patiently for
the storm to break and do their best
to outlive the fury of shell and ma
chine gun fire with Ihe hope that they
could then repel the Infantry attacks
which were sura to follow.
7 on .OOO Shell Fired la T Hear.
The storm broke on a front of 40
mile which waa held by three nusslan
corps. In two hour the enemy bat
teries fired, according to the Russian
estimates, 700.000 shells ranging from
the field shrapnel to the 12-inch high
explosives. The RusViana were not
routed, aa the Germane asserted. They
simply remained and died.
The few that trjed to retire on sup
porting lines were caught In the open,
where every object on the landscape
bad long before been ranged and thou
sands were literally swept away. The
first line of the Russian defense waa
so torn and swept by shell fire that
Observer y tht It could not have
been "recognised as ever having been a
line of defense.
In pito'of th fury of the flrt two
hour the P.usslans did not then aban
don their lines. It took between
3 000 000 and 4.000.000 shells finally to
weaken tbem o that the Infantry
could attack. I have no figures to In
dicate what proportion of the missing
Was killed, what portion wounded, or
what part captured. ......

The Famous Matinee Idol of America in the Greatest
Triumph of His Career as a Screen Artist
"The Call of the Cumberlands"
From the Popular Book and Play by Chas. N. Buck
'1 A thrilling" and sensational portrayal of life and love in the
mountains of old Kentucky.
A story replete with dashing action and daring deeds, telling:
the story of the South and Hollmans f eud ' clans and the
many exciting- episodes that take place.
-Un the role of Samson South, the young and handsome leader
of one of the clans, Mr. Farnum gives the finest portrayal of
his entire career. . '
iThe story carries the spectator from nature scenes of the
, South to New York City, where Farnum becomes involved
in a love affair with'a beautiful young woman (Myrtle Sted
man) and engages in a hair-raising fight with a gang of
crooked politicians.
ri Later he is called back to his old home to take up the leader
ship of his clan and defend his people from the Hollmans,
which he does in one of the most realistic encounters ever
shown on the screen. His return is rewarded by the richest
find of his life-the sweetheart of his youth (Winnif red Kings
ton) has remained loyal and true, and now becomes his part
ner for life.
t It's the big play of the week. Be sure to see it with your
friends.

termed by metallurgical experts, has
advanced to the phenomenal price of

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.
Ths of us who are accustomed to
feel- dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a coin,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, lame back. can. instead, both look,
and feel as fresh as a daisy always by
washing the poisons and toxins from
the body with . phosphatcd hot water
each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to flush from the stomach, liver, fckl
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre
vious day's indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleaning,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract before putting more
food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot wate'r on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and tt
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the cheeks.
A quarter of a pound of limestone phos
phate will cost very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to make anyone
whoN3 bothered with biliousness, con
stipation, stomach trouble or rheuma
tism a real enthusiast on the subject of
i.i..ri vanitntioii. Ti-v it and you are
assured that you will look belter and
feel better in every way Kixvruy aov.
